Quick and Easy Chili Pickles Recipe

It’s no secret – we love chili peppers. And we like them as close to freshly picked as possible. Bursting with freshness, flavour and aroma.

Dried chilies tend to be too overpowering for us. Besides, they lack the complex flavour profile of fresh ones.

Pickled chilies are a great way to preserve that just picked flavour, and they are quick and easy to make.

Nicely decorated bottles of chili pickle are a simple, yet eye-catching gift, especially when you use a whole medley of different colours and sizes of chilies.

When making pickled chili gifts select chili varieties to suit the receiver. For chili heads use extra hot varieties like habanero and tabasco. For soft mouths use milder varieties like Jalapeno and Hungarian wax.

If you don’t grow your own chilies you’ll find a ready supply at your local greengrocer or supermarket.
